Thats a pretty standard defense to the low single. Jon was just persistent which led to protracted running.

also for those bringing up condit,if you study nick diaz's past fights (the Cyborg fight in particular) his defense to leg kicks is poor,and his footwork is non existent. If there is an easy to beat someone without taking damage yourself,go for it. the fight wasnt the knockout drag out war we expected it to be but blame diaz for having such a huge gaping obvious hole in his game
Exactly, it's not Condit's fault Nick has a gaping hole. How could Carlos resist taking exploiting it over and over again?
if someone is shooting for your legs and you get an opening to break away,i would probably just take it instead of worryin about what sherdoggers think of it
If Jones ever turned and sprinted from an opponent like that he'd be flamed. (see: below)
Gus did it, and it's cool because he 'just wanted to bang'..
(I don't see a problem with a quick jog and reset, just pointing out the obvious double standard)
EDIT: Thanks for pointing it out that it has happened, and he was flamed for it. I forgot about the Rampage fight.

I don't know if this was directed at me, but I only brought up Condit as an example because he got bashed on here for that fight. I have no problem with how Condit fought Diaz. I have no problem with Gus "running" to escape Jones TD. I have no problem with Jones "running" to avoid that one exchange with Rampage. None of those were anything like Starnes against Quarry, for example.
i was making a general statement to people pissed off about condits tactics
You see, now why didn't you ACTUALLY watch some of Jones' fights before you said this? I've only seen the Rampage vs Jones once and I can easily remember the eye poking and Jones running away like an 11 year old school girl. I mean Gus ran but Jones was Usain Bolt world record worthy.
Somehow his fans always forget this though and end up embarrassing themselves...
